Re: [jennifer rose] "Swimmin Hole"

Gracias Señora Rose. It seems that your hotest weather comes in the spring time. Is this correct? I guess when my wife and I are visiting Morelia in July we will not go swimming unless maybe if we go to the Ocean. I assume it is hotter on the coast than inland at higher altitudes.

Forget the name of Princess Summer-Fall-Winter-Spring of Howdy Doody fame. Here in Morelia, and a goodly part of Michoacan, it's Winter-Summer-Spring-Fall. The hottest weather does fall from the end of March to late May, and we're praying that rains come ASAP.

Once the rains come, it's a gloriously beautiful time to be in Michoacan. Afternoons are marked by a serious, better-take-cover and stay-put rainfall from about 5 to 6 p.m., and nights filled with gentle, light, all-night-long drizzles. Perhaps two days of the entire year may be marked by all-day rain, but that's not the norm. Everything is a spectacular Ireland within a week after the rains begin, the air is fresh and clean, the temps fall, and there is no dreaded humidity inland. It's the most beautiful season and a wonderful time to be in Morelia.

Given the length of your stay, finding a place to swim should really be on the 20th page of your priorities.
